I believe the decals on authentic helmets are 10% larger than the replicas as well. It’s easier to tell with some teams more than others

@Randallr0284 2 года назад

Exactly right!!

@billruppert5483 2 года назад

Great video, very informative. I have a question, when did the replicas start putting that plate on the inside? I'm a SAINTS fan and have several SAINTS helmets from replicas to authentic plus several mini helmets but none my replicas have that plate. Of course mine are a very old. Thanks as always, look forward to more videos.

@_XXX99 10 месяцев назад

To my best understanding it is because f you can wear the 140$ Helmet people are less likely to buy the 340$ helmet so they put a plate in making that impossible.

I just took a closer look to the NFL helmet testing results from the past few years and I don’t get why Riddell discontinued the Speed and replaced it with the Speed Icon even though the Speed was ranked higher every single year. And what is a Riddell Foundation? It’s been around for several years but I never heard of it before.

Helmet idea: green bay gold Schutt f7 vtd, black egop-II-dw-nb-vc, black or white sportstar victory T-Rex hurricane chinstrap, one pair of black Douglas EZ Pro chinstrap buckles and one of black sportstar chinstrap buckles, 20 or 40% smoke visor with green bay gold unbranded under armour visor clips, black Facemask hardware. I'm building this helmet by myself right now, I hope the Facemask and the Facemask hardware will be available again soon so I can continue building my helmet. Greetings from Germany.

SpeedFlex internal padding should get the job done! Just make sure to get the right sizing to fit the helmets you have. Hope this helps!

@MostRussianTim 5 месяцев назад

I agree with not wearing a work of art on your head. We cant get the proper helmet color anymore so I have about three seasons' worth of damage from playing guard. It is a neat look but I could never restore the helmet to a "like new" condition.

Do the "authentic" speed-flex team helmets still come with all the air bladders it's a must for me? Up till now I've been buying field use helmets and creating the decals myself to get bladders, but I'm struggling to find a good silver shell for a Lions helmet.

Yes, the speedflex helmets are, as far as we can tell, the actual game-ready helmets unlike the other speed replica and authentics

@Italiantonio76 Год назад

Maybe it's just me, but while you were talking, I stared at the helmets and it looked like the decals on the Speed replica appeared to be noticeably smaller than the authentic.

@greengridiron Год назад

All decals are actually printed to the same size, so what you're seeing may just be the difference in size of the authentic vs. replica helmets.

@khtech7508 5 месяцев назад

So if it says “authentic” on the title of the helmet I can put it on? I’m trying to buy a Texans candy red helmet but it doesn’t have a photo of the inside of the helmet to assure me that I can put it on. I just dont want to spend 300 plus just to not be able to wear it.

How does one get into getting reselling these helmets. I see a guy on TikTok that has hydrodipped, signed, custom, authentic helmets and I can't find any research behind it

@greengridiron 6 месяцев назад

It’s tough to be a licensed vendor, there are lots of knock offs out there which the NFL and distributors often pursue and shut down. We have been working directly with Riddell and Schutt for many years. You need to set yourself up as a functioning business with a tax ID number, insurance, etc. and then prove to the manufacturers that you can deliver.

@grocerygoat06 7 месяцев назад

Steve, I enjoy your content on these helmets. However, my two cents regarding Riddell? Whoever is in charge of quality control at Riddell should be fired, stat! The decal jobs now are UNACCEPTABLE! The last three AUTHENTIC helmets I've purchased have had bubbling or separation issues entirely. A Rob Gronkowski-signed Bucco Bruce Tampa helmet had its decal peel up completely from the crown of the helmet a year after purchase, despite being housed in a display case, away from sunlight. A new Seahawks Flash helmet I purchased directly from Mill Creek Sports for a Kam Chancellor autograph session came to me with ripples on the left side near the front of the helmet. It's so evident that it's laughable someone actually boxed it up from the factory instead of performing the job properly. I also purchased a new Vikings helmet off of eBay, still in the original box and plastic, and one of the horn decals has a giant bubble in it. I've also seen several pictures of these helmets on eBay with noticeable decal bubbles and ripples despite being new. Unacceptable quality for the price paid. I still have older Riddell mini helmets from the 90s that have held up better. Ridiculous. Are you seeing a lot of issues with decals in the new helmets?

@greengridiron 7 месяцев назад

Yes, we do see some helmets come in with decal issues.

@66lemagnifique 6 месяцев назад

I always thought authentic meant genuine and the only other option was a replica. I didn't realize Riddell could label something as authentic but at the same time say it's a replica. Don't take this personally, I'm just trying to understand how it isn't false advertising on Riddell's end. If I spent over $1,000 on a customized "authentic" helmet like that Miami one, then found out later it still wasn't the same as they use in the NFL, I would be pretty bummed. In my opinion that's always going to be a highly detailed replica, not authentic. Again, nothing personal with you. I just don't understand how Riddell can do that. Maybe they should call it "authentic style" or "authentic look" instead.

@greengridiron 6 месяцев назад

I get your confusion. Replica and Authentic helmets are both technically just collectible helmets. The closest to the real deal is the SpeedFlex collectibles, since they're closest to what the NFL is actually wearing on the field. I think it may just be Riddell's way of making cool looking helmets that are available for anyones budget range.

@greengridiron 4 месяца назад

Unfortunately all of the replica and authentic helmets come straight from Riddell and are one size only, and we're not sure if that'll be changing anytime soon. As far as authentic helmets go, they're a bit smaller than the standard SpeedFlex Adult Large collectibles. You'd be surprised that you may be able to fit into an authentic!
